Matt Leinart's nine-year-old son apparently takes after his father in the football skills department. Leinart tweeted a video of Cole showing off his throwing arm in a flag football game, and there might be an argument for Cole becoming a better quarterback than dear old dad.

That's a pretty impressive pass from a child and some good route running by his receiver.

Leinart joked that his son might even follow in his father's footsteps to play college ball for the USC Trojans. Leinart, of course, won the Heisman Trophy in his junior season at USC when he helped lead the Trojans to a BCS national championship win in 2004.
